Buying currency with Caxton

Hi
I'm looking to get some currency before going on holiday to Jordan. I've been told that my Visa Debit card from Natwest would charge about 2% as it's classed as a cash advance. Would I be better using my Caxton FX Global card? It says that it charges for 'over the counter cash advances in a bank' but I'm not sure whether that includes buying currency online? I know I would get charged £1.50 for a UK transaction but just wondering whether there would be any other charges to look out for!
Thanks
